Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

lsg-59037 It is majorly flawed, I'll admit. But yet I fairly enjoyed watching it... I am not a fan of low-budget horrors, but this is nowhere near the worst. With fine tuning it could have been much better, but felt the essence was there. There is no storyline (what a surprise), but just remember most horrors are re-gurgitated anyway; however there's enough nudity to get through it. To put another way (analogy), it's like buying a scratchcard, winning, but only getting your money back - perhaps you'd feel a bit short changed, but it could be worse...

x_gorewhore OK. I'll make this short and sweet;; this movie is horrible! It would be absolute heaven for a ten year old boy that has never seen boobs before and wants to brag to his friends bout it. Seriously if a man comes to your door and offers you eternal life if you watch this junk tell him to clear off cause it's really not worth your energy. I'd rather be beaten by a corpse then watch this again.Oh and for anyone that says it wasn't that bad did you fall asleep during this and dream you were watching a good movie with celebrities?Only buy Slaughterhouse Massacre/Sickle if you have a death wish or your being held at gun point.One * out of ten and I'm being generous.

Scarecrow-88 Perfectly dreadful, no budget slaughterhouse slasher that's sluggishly paced, with poorly executed gore attacks and wretched performances from a talentless cast. The director, Paul Gagné(emphasis on GAG)also stars as the killer, Marty, whose been dead for 10 years thanks to a group of college kids who hung him in revenge for his murder of their friend(..barely surviving this, he also beheaded by a naked girl whose sex partner was stabbed in the back with a sickle). Marty is conjured back to life thanks to a rhyme, spoken by four college students within the chalk outline of his fallen body. He stalks them throughout his darkened slaughterhouse, sickle in hand, killing each when they're at the most vulnerable. The only way, according to some myth, to stop Marty is to behead him. Lame story-line apes the Bloody Mary tale, to bad effect, and Gagné shoots a lengthly walk through of the slaughterhouse hoping to build dread, instead inducing the viewer into a comatose state..dare to try not to nod off as the four students, football stars Bobby(Vaedynn Orland)& Justin(Maurizio Rasti)and their girls, Tina(Stacey Denson)& Stacey(Shaila Vaidya)trip through the abattoir for several minutes, screaming multiple times, before locating the place where the killer was finished off. Marty mines Freddy Krueger, cracking wise, as he pursues his prey. The film has an opening sex session with a couple in '93, who are to be attacked by Marty, which then segues to a class room where a teacher warns Justin and Bobby of passing a class assignment or else suffer a failing grade(..this whole scene could've been left on the cutting room floor, only servicing the plot in regards to them being college students), retreating into a rather pointless and annoyingly long party with drinks, weed-smoking, and naked lesbian chicks kissing. Finally, after half an hour of tedious filler, does the film finally find itself in the abattoir where the slasher formula develops. Skip this one and save yourself an enormous amount of boredom and aggravation..SLAUGHTERHOUSE MASSACRE is a taxing experience that just isn't worth it. Attractive leads, Vaidya and Denson, do provide nice eye candy, though.I'm definitely an advocate for low budget filmmakers, but suggest at least finding enough funding to adequately deliver decent production values and effectively executed graphic violence. Of course it also takes talent and many low budget directors have actually created a real sense of dread and spooky atmosphere..in SLAUGHTERHOUSE MASSACRE, such is not the case.

emmapollard-1 The start is like something out of a soft porn shop, the lighting's crap, the acting's crap. Simple as - how people can give it a 9/10 I have no idea, I've just bought it from EBay for £2.99 - straight in the bin, I can assure you! Don't rent it, don't buy it - as soon as you open the case you see why. The front cover is deceptive, and looks as though it could be moderately good but the disk itself 'Sickle' and that's it. It looks fake. Awful, it really was. I know it's only £2.99 but I could have spent it on something GOOD! Another point - it has no adverts at the start. That tells you all! So my advice - don't rent it. Or buy it. Or go anywhere near it!
